 There are plugins that help update librewolf, which helps improve securitiy.
 
-* Guillaume created a windows updater script for the Task Scheduler. it can be found [here](https://github.com/ltGuillaume/LibreWolf-WinUpdater).

-* Defkev created a LibreWolf updater plugin, which can be found [here](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/librewolf-updater/).

+Please note the distinction between the *task scheduler updater script* ([LibreWolf-WinUpdater](https://github.com/ltGuillaume/LibreWolf-WinUpdater)) and the *librewolf extension* ([LibreWolf Updater](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/librewolf-updater/)), in that the latter only checks for updates, but will not install them automatically, while the former does. There's quite a bit of confusion about that on Reddit, GitHub and Gitlab.

 ```
 git clone https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows.git
-cd windows
+cd windows/winbuild
-make fetch build artifacts
+make all
 ```
 
 This will produce the -setup.exe and portable .zip. Have fun!
